After a day of sunbathing, waterskiing, or shopping—or an exciting night in nearby Monte Carlo—return to a guestroom equipped with satellite TV, a peaceful view, and sound-proofed windows for a restful night’s sleep. From the attached casino, indoor pool, gym, and spa to the hotel’s private beach and pier, which offers a wide range of water sports, Le Meridien Garden Beach is a dream of a hotel on the sun-drenched French Riviera.

Recreation
The hotel’s private pier and sandy beach are open all day April through October, and alternate access from the guestrooms to the beach avoids the lobby. Guests enjoy discounted access to the health club, with indoor splash pool, fitness room, sauna, and steam room. The club is open every morning and mid-afternoon until mid-evening; guests must be 16 or older. The Bay of Juan-les-Pins is said to be where water skiing was invented, and this and other water sports, including parasailing, jet skiing, and sailing, are available in summer. Year-round sports facilities, including aerobics and tennis, can be found in Antibes, 1.5 km (one mile) east. Pine Park, a half-block from the hotel, includes a playground. The recreational activities listed below are available either on site or near the hotel; fees may apply.

Features
What to expect: Visually unlike other hotels in the town, the distinctive glass-clad exterior is an architectural collage of triangles. This modern feel continues in the marble lobby, with its vividly colored table lamps in freeform shapes, and sweeping tile-and-chrome reception desk. Since opening in 1989, the hotel has been a sun-seeker’s haven, and vacationers and executives lap up the beachfront location.
Amenity highlights: The hotel’s private sandy beach, pier, and beach restaurant are open from April through mid-autumn, and beach access from the guestrooms avoids the lobby. Guests have discounted access to the health club, with a 16-foot splash pool, spa tub, sauna, steam room, and fitness equipment. Wireless Internet access (surcharge) is available throughout the public areas and even on the beach.
Insider tip: Juan-les-Pin’s annual summer jazz festival takes place at the Gould Pine Grove, just one block from the hotel. Less known are the handprints of 53 jazz legends set into the sidewalk surrounding the venue. Jazz fans can pay homage to stars such as Ray Charles and Miles Davis at this Hollywood Boulevard–style tribute.
Please note: The hotel will be closed between 11th and 28th December 2005.

| This hotel has the most comfortable, fluffy pillows - which is especially rare in Europe. Hotel staff is very pleasant. Great location in Juan les Pins - nightlife and shops nearby the hotel (open late in summer).
